[At the desert, Tuco interrogates Jimmy who is on his knees, pleading for his life.]
You know what I smell. I smell lies. I smell pork. [Tuco places a wire cutter on Jimmy's finger]
No. That’s not necessary.
Okay, we know you’re with the heat. The question is, who? Local? FBI?
No, no, no.
DEA?
No, I’m a lawyer. Just reach in my pocket right now – right there!
[Tuco takes a matchbook out of Jimmy's pocket, looks at it and throws it away.]
Truth.
That is the truth! I’m a lawyer! Guys, I passed the bar! Ask me anything! Not contract law, okay? I’m down at the court every day! People know me. I’m a known quantity – I am!
[Tuco applies more pressure on the wire cutter.]
I’m – I’m Special Agent Jeffrey Steele, FBI.
FBI?
FBI. I’m undercover, okay? You got me. I’m the tip of the spear, and releasing me would be a smart move.
